Information Density: DEEP – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

Information Density — The Lens

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Info Density Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

While the homepage is lean (208 characters) and relies on high-concept headings like ‘Vanguard’ and ‘95% of the ocean is unexplored,’ the sub-pages provide significant density. The Mission page features exhaustive professional biographies for experts like Norman Smith and Dr. Dawn Kernagis, citing specific years of experience (35 years) and named past projects (NASA NEEMO). The Courses page lists specific technical certifications such as ‘HSE Closed Bell Diver’ and ‘CCR,’ which are technical nouns that balance out the ‘renaissance’ marketing fluff. The overall ratio favors substance due to the granular detail in the expert profiles.

Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.

[IMG: Norman Smith - Chief Technology Officer at DEEP]
[H1] Norman Smith
Norman Smith has more than 35 years of experience launching complex technology products. Before joining DEEP, these products were for manned space flights with NASA and for deep-water equipment at Oceaneering International. He was previously Executive Vice President of Engineering at a microgrid power company providing low-emission backup power to hyperscale data centers.
[H1] Dawn Kernagis
Dr Dawn Kernagis is a scientist and has been a diver (including cave, technical, and free diving) since 1993. She completed her PhD and postdoctoral training at Duke University. Her research has focused on neuroprotective strategies for people exposed to high physiological stress. In 2016 Dawn was chosen to be a crew member for NASA’s NEEMO 21 undersea habitat mission.
[H1] Roger Garcia
Roger Garcia is the former Operations Director of the Aquarius Reef Base underwater habitat. A retired U.S. Navy Deep Sea Diver, U.S. Marine Corps Combat Diver and current certified Association of Diving Contractors International commercial diver, he brings decades of military, commercial, and scientific diving experience. During his 23 year tenure at the Aquarius program, Roger supported, planned and supervised a combined 100 saturation missions and projects focused on scientific research, defense initiatives, and NASA’s NEEMO astronaut training analog.

[H1] Phil Short
Phil has logged over 7,000 dive hours across multiple diving disciplines including open-circuit, closed-circuit, surface supply, and 1-ATA suits. He is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a Fellow of the Explorers Club. Born in Surrey, Phil spent a wonderful childhood exploring woods, fields, and swimming in the local river. His passion for treading new ground led him to caving and, via cave diving, to his work at DEEP today.
